[Intro] Fire On The Horizon... [Low ambient hum + soft 808 fade‑in] [Ad‑lib:] ("Birmingham… Watch the signs… Keep the armour on… T.Y.S.O.N…") [Verse 1] Walk the late‑night streets where the neon glows bright Melting‑pot city, every shadow has its fight Voices call from the lanes, lights burn through the haze Old patterns rising up from the ancient days Not just bricks and roads, not just crowd and noise Spirits of rebellion feeding off the choice Sodom’s old shadow stretching over the square Baal’s old altars hidden where the crowds gather there Drugs cloud the vision, confusion in the air We see the chaos rise — but the Lord sees everywhere. [Chorus] Fire on the horizon — we keep our eyes awake Put on God’s full armour, stand for truth’s sake City of many faces, many paths to take Stay vigilant, be discerning — don’t let your spirit break Fire on the horizon — we keep our eyes awake Walk in His protection, for the Lord’s own sake. [Verse 2] Lights in the village, the rush of the night Broken souls searching for a temporary light Some trapped in the trade, some lost in the spin Some chasing power, turning to hidden sin — witchcraft whispers low where the crowds begin But the city’s full of hurting, not just shame and sin Many are wandering, don’t know where to turn We don’t come to judge — we come to discern The warning’s not for stones, it’s for the heart inside To watch for the lure before you step inside... [Chorus] Fire on the horizon — we keep our eyes awake Put on God’s full armour, stand for truth’s sake City of many faces, many paths to take Stay vigilant, be discerning — don’t let your spirit break Fire on the horizon — we keep our eyes awake Walk in His protection, for the Lord’s own sake. [Verse 3] Ephesians tells us — we don’t fight flesh and blood Against unseen powers that stand where the crowds have stood So gird up your truth, put the breastplate on faith Shoes of peace on your feet when the pressure gets heavy and great Shield of faith to quench every fiery dart Helmet of salvation guarding your heart Day by day in the city, we move through the noise Carry the light where the darkness destroys... [Bridge] [beat softens, sincere flow] [Female, Spoken] “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” ‑ 1 Peter 5:8 The Lord said remember what happened to the ancient plain — not to hate the city, but guard your way... [Vocal Snap] "Are you listening baby?" [Funky-Pop Breakdown] [Closing] [Spoken, Male, Prayerful Tone] Heavenly Father, we live within this busy city, surrounded by noise and temptation. Give us discernment to see what is of You and what is not. Clothe us daily in Your full armour, that we may walk safely, love the lost, stand firm in truth, and shine Your light in every corner of Birmingham. In Yeshua’s name... Amen. [Chorus] Fire on the horizon — we keep our eyes awake Put on God’s full armour, stand for truth’s sake City of many faces, many paths to take Stay vigilant, be discerning — don’t let your spirit break Fire on the horizon — we keep our eyes awake Walk in His protection, for the Lord’s own sake. [Outro] [ambient sound fades slow] Keep the armour on… T.Y.S.O.N [END]
